Atilla the Hun - Historical Fact

Another little known historical fact about Atilla's very short stature goes like this... Atilla was a man of average height. One day he went to talk with the Oracle of Delphi,a reputed holy man who could work incredible miracles. The Oracle told Atilla that he would grant one wish, and it could be ANYTHING that Atilla desired. Well, Atilla thought and thought, then said to the Oracle, "I want my penis to be so long that it will touch the ground when I am standing upright. ZAP!!! A flash of light, and some smoke, and Atilla was left standing upright, on his five-inch-long legs.

Atilla the Hun

Its a little known fact that Atilla's last name, "Hun", actually had been given to him by his first girlfriend who always referred to Atilla as "Hun". The name caught on, and throughout history, he has been known as Atilla the Hun.
